Description
Let’s raise a glass and toast the way it should be - local beer brewed by local beer lovers using local ingredients, including fresh water from our very own Hertfordshire borehole.
No fuss, no pretension - just passion and a year’s hard work at our nearby farm to brew ales we, and hopefully the people of St. Albans, can be proud of.
Here’s to radically better beer!

Bottle at home while watching the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. A typical English golden ale. It looked good in the tankard and had the usual flavours and mouthfeel. Hops, plenty of malt and maybe a touch of wheat to make it quite thirst quenching. Solid, but not spectacular.

Cask @ Six Bells, St Albans. Dark clear amber-orange with a small glow and no head. Bitter in character, it has a light sticky-sweet texture and taste rather than any notable bitterness.
